[QUOTE="clintbailey, post: 4231511, member: 8544"] Ok, disclaimer first: the only factory ammo I've shot much in years is rimfire and shotgun ammo. That being said, my wife and I will be going to Africa for the first time next year if all goes as planned. 6 species package (unless we add while there): duiker/steenbok, zebra, blue wildebeest, impala, warthog, and blesbok. My question is this: what factory offerings would you choose in 308 or 30-06 ammo for this kind of hunt? We plan to use their rifles vs carrying our own, and they have those two chamberings available (plus 375 H&H). I'm thinking a Barnes bullet in the 165 gr range should be fine in the 308, as well as a 165-180ish for the -06. What say you? [/QUOTE]
